De Kroonprins van de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten generaal Sjeik Mohammed bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan en tevens bevelhebber van het leger van de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten wil dat de V.S. op korte termijn oorlog voert tegen Iran. De V.S wil eerst Iran d.m.v financiële sancties militair uitlokken. described the U.S. strategy on Iran, including our intention to move forward with multilateral financial sanctions while waiting for Iran to decide on its *engagement with the U.S. *Engagement= begin fighting General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan is the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces in Abu Dhabi and next in line to be President of the United Arab Emirates. He believes that 'all hell will break loose' if Iran attains the bomb, with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Turkey developing their own nuclear weapons capability and Iran instigating Sunni - Shia conflict throughout the world. He said Iran is surrounding Israel - driven by ideological conviction - and will threaten Israel's existence should it go nuclear. At the same time, he described Iran's ambitions as reflecting a desire to restore Persia's great-power status, rather than driven by religious convictions. The Crown Prince described a near term conventional war with Iran as clearly preferable to the long term consequences of a nuclear armed Iran. Without timely and decisive action by the United States, the Crown Prince believes that Israel will strike Iran, causing Iran to launch missile attacks - including hits on the UAE - and to unleash terror attacks worldwide. He believes that an Israeli strike will not be successful in stopping Iran's nuclear program, and therefore we need to plan. Regarding the recent election in Iran, The Crown Prince cautioned that Mir Hossein Musavi is no different than Ahmedinejad when it comes to their nuclear ambitions, 'same goal, different tactic.' In this respect, he regards Musavi as more dangerous than his competitor, as at least Ahmedinejad was 'an open book.' He was appalled by 'top European diplomats' that were unconcerned by the possibility of Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon. He shared his theory that Russia was trying to instigate conflict between the U.S. and Iran as a means to weaken the U.S. and drive up oil prices. He suggested we could use Russia's narrow views to help persuade Russia to join international actions against Iran. He argued that it will be essential to bring Arab public opinion on board in any conflict with Iran and roughly 80% of the public is amenable ( easy to influence) to persuasion. To win them over, the U.S. should quickly bring about a two state solution over the objections of the Netanyahu government. He suggested working with moderate Palestinians that support the road map, and forget about the others as there is no time to waste. http://www.wikileaks.nl/cable/2009/07/09ABUDHABI736.html Website: http://www.wikileaks.nl/cable/2009/07/09ABUDHABI736.html |
